I don't want your lonely mansion

With a tear in every room

All I want's the love you promised

Beneath the haloed moon

But you think I should be happy

With your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrow

While you play your cheatin' game



Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrow

In the warm glow of your wine

But you think I should be happy

With your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrow

While you play your cheatin' game



------ guitar ------



Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrow

In the warm glow of your wine

You can't buy my love with money

For I never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles

Can not mend this heart of mine



Silver threads and golden needles

Can not mend this heart of mine
